Changelog for git-annex-3.20121009

git-annex (3.20121009) unstable; urgency=low
* watch, assistant: It's now safe to git annex unlock files while
the watcher is running, as well as modify files checked into git
as normal files. Additionally, .gitignore settings are now honored.
Closes: #689979
* group, ungroup: New commands to indicate groups of repositories.
* webapp: Adds newly created repositories to one of these groups:
clients, drives, servers
* vicfg: New command, allows editing (or simply viewing) most
of the repository configuration settings stored in the git-annex branch.
* Added preferred content expressions, configurable using vicfg.
* get --auto: If the local repository has preferred content
configured, only get that content.
* drop --auto: If the repository the content is dropped from has
preferred content configured, drop only content that is not preferred.
* copy --auto: Only transfer content that the destination repository prefers.
* assistant: Now honors preferred content settings when deciding what to
transfer.
* --copies=group:number can now be used to match files that are present
in a specified number of repositories in a group.
* Added --smallerthan, --largerthan, and --inall limits.
* Only build-depend on libghc-clientsession-dev on arches that will have
the webapp.
* uninit: Unset annex.version. Closes: #689852

git-annex (3.20121001) unstable; urgency=low
* fsck: Now has an incremental mode. Start a new incremental fsck pass
with git annex fsck --incremental. Now the fsck can be interrupted
as desired, and resumed with git annex fsck --more.
Thanks, Justin Azoff
* New --time-limit option, makes long git-annex commands stop after
a specified amount of time.
* fsck: New --incremental-schedule option which is nice for scheduling
eg, monthly incremental fsck runs in cron jobs.
* Fix fallback to ~/Desktop when xdg-user-dir is not available.
Closes: #688833
* S3: When using a shared cipher, S3 credentials are not stored encrypted
in the git repository, as that would allow anyone with access to
the repository access to the S3 account. Instead, they're stored
in a 600 mode file in the local git repo.
* webapp: Avoid crashing when ssh-keygen -F chokes on an invalid known_hosts
file.
* Always do a system wide installation when DESTDIR is set. Closes: #689052
* The Makefile now builds with the new yesod by default.
Systems like Debian that have the old yesod 1.0.1 should set
GIT_ANNEX_LOCAL_FEATURES=-DWITH_OLD_YESOD
* copy: Avoid updating the location log when no copy is performed.
* configure: Test that uuid -m works, falling back to plain uuid if not.
* Avoid building the webapp on Debian architectures that do not yet
have template haskell and thus yesod. (Should be available for arm soonish
I hope).

git-annex (3.20120924) unstable; urgency=low
* assistant: New command, a daemon which does everything watch does,
as well as automatically syncing file contents between repositories.
* webapp: An interface for managing and configuring the assistant.
* The default backend used when adding files to the annex is changed
from SHA256 to SHA256E, to simplify interoperability with OSX, media
players, and various programs that needlessly look at symlink targets.
To get old behavior, add a .gitattributes containing: * annex.backend=SHA256
* init: If no description is provided for a new repository, one will
automatically be generated, like "joey@gnu:~/foo"
* test: Set a lot of git environment variables so testing works in strange
environments that normally need git config to set names, etc.
Closes: #682351 Thanks, gregor herrmann
* Disable ssh connection caching if the path to the control socket would be
too long (and use relative path to minimise path to the control socket).
* migrate: Check content before generating the new key, to avoid generating
a key for corrupt data.
* Support repositories created with --separate-git-dir. Closes: #684405
* reinject: When the provided file doesn't match, leave it where it is,
rather than moving to .git/annex/bad/
* Avoid crashing on encoding errors in filenames when writing transfer info
files and reading from checksum commands.
* sync: Pushes the git-annex branch to remote/synced/git-annex, rather
than directly to remote/git-annex.
* Now supports matching files that are present on a number of remotes
with a specified trust level. Example: --copies=trusted:2
Thanks, Nicolas Pouillard

git-annex (3.20120825) unstable; urgency=low
* S3: Add fileprefix setting.
* Pass --use-agent to gpg when in no tty mode. Thanks, Eskild Hustvedt.
* Bugfix: Fix fsck in SHA*E backends, when the key contains composite
extensions, as added in 3.20120721.
-- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Sat, 25 Aug 2012 10:00:10 -0400
git-annex (3.20120807) unstable; urgency=low
* initremote: Avoid recording remote's description before checking
that its config is valid.
* unused, status: Avoid crashing when ran in bare repo.
* Avoid crashing when "git annex get" fails to download from one
location, and falls back to downloading from a second location.
-- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Tue, 07 Aug 2012 13:35:07 -0400
git-annex (3.20120721) unstable; urgency=low
* get, move, copy: Now refuse to do anything when the requested file
transfer is already in progress by another process.
* status: Lists transfers that are currently in progress.
* Fix passing --uuid to git-annex-shell.
* When shaNsum commands cannot be found, use the Haskell SHA library
(already a dependency) to do the checksumming. This may be slower,
but avoids portability problems.
* Use SHA library for files less than 50 kb in size, at which point it's
faster than forking the more optimised external program.
* SHAnE backends are now smarter about composite extensions, such as
.tar.gz Closes: #680450
* map: Write map.dot to .git/annex, which avoids watch trying to annex it.
-- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Sat, 21 Jul 2012 16:52:48 -0400
git-annex (3.20120629) unstable; urgency=low
* cabal: Only try to use inotify on Linux.
* Version build dependency on STM, and allow building without it,
which disables the watch command.
* Avoid ugly failure mode when moving content from a local repository
that is not available.
* Got rid of the last place that did utf8 decoding.
* Accept arbitrarily encoded repository filepaths etc when reading
git config output. This fixes support for remotes with unusual characters
in their names.
* sync: Automatically resolves merge conflicts.
-- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Fri, 29 Jun 2012 10:17:49 -0400
git-annex (3.20120624) unstable; urgency=low
* watch: New subcommand, a daemon which notices changes to
files and automatically annexes new files, etc, so you don't
need to manually run git commands when manipulating files.
Available on Linux, BSDs, and OSX!
* Enable diskfree on kfreebsd, using kqueue.
* unused: Fix crash when key names contain invalid utf8.
* sync: Avoid recent git's interactive merge.
-- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Sun, 24 Jun 2012 12:36:50 -0400
git-annex (3.20120614) unstable; urgency=medium
* addurl: Was broken by a typo introduced 2 released ago, now fixed.
Closes: #677576
* Install man page when run by cabal, in a location where man will
find it, even when installing under $HOME. Thanks, Nathan Collins
-- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Thu, 14 Jun 2012 20:21:29 -0400
git-annex (3.20120611) unstable; urgency=medium
* add: Prevent (most) modifications from being made to a file while it
is being added to the annex.
* initremote: Automatically describe a remote when creating it.
* uninit: Refuse to run in a subdirectory. Closes: #677076
-- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Mon, 11 Jun 2012 10:32:01 -0400
git-annex (3.20120605) unstable; urgency=low
* sync: Show a nicer message if a user tries to sync to a special remote.
* lock: Reset unlocked file to index, rather than to branch head.
* import: New subcommand, pulls files from a directory outside the annex
and adds them.
* Fix display of warning message when encountering a file that uses an
unsupported backend.
* Require that the SHA256 backend can be used when building, since it's the
default.
* Preserve parent environment when running hooks of the hook special remote.
-- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Tue, 05 Jun 2012 14:03:39 -0400
git-annex (3.20120522) unstable; urgency=low
* Pass -a to cp even when it supports --reflink=auto, to preserve
permissions.
* Clean up handling of git directory and git worktree.
* Add support for core.worktree, and fix support for GIT_WORK_TREE and
GIT_DIR.
-- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Tue, 22 May 2012 11:16:13 -0400
git-annex (3.20120511) unstable; urgency=low
* Rsync special remotes can be configured with shellescape=no
to avoid shell quoting that is normally done when using rsync over ssh.
This is known to be needed for certian rsync hosting providers
(specificially hidrive.strato.com) that use rsync over ssh but do not
pass it through the shell.
* dropunused: Allow specifying ranges to drop.
* addunused: New command, the opposite of dropunused, it relinks unused
content into the git repository.
* Fix use of several config settings: annex.ssh-options,
annex.rsync-options, annex.bup-split-options. (And adjust types to avoid
the bugs that broke several config settings.)
-- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Fri, 11 May 2012 12:29:30 -0400
git-annex (3.20120430) unstable; urgency=low
* Fix use of annex.diskreserve config setting.
* Directory special remotes now check annex.diskreserve.
* Support git's core.sharedRepository configuration.
* Add annex.http-headers and annex.http-headers-command config
settings, to allow custom headers to be sent with all HTTP requests.
(Requested by the Internet Archive)
* uninit: Clear annex.uuid from .git/config. Closes: #670639
* Added shared cipher mode to encryptable special remotes. This option
avoids gpg key distribution, at the expense of flexability, and with
the requirement that all clones of the git repository be equally trusted.
-- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Mon, 30 Apr 2012 13:16:10 -0400
git-annex (3.20120418) unstable; urgency=low
* bugfix: Adding a dotfile also caused all non-dotfiles to be added.
* bup: Properly handle key names with spaces or other things that are
not legal git refs.
* git-annex (but not git-annex-shell) supports the git help.autocorrect
configuration setting, doing fuzzy matching using the restricted
Damerau-Levenshtein edit distance, just as git does. This adds a build
dependency on the haskell edit-distance library.
* Renamed diskfree.c to avoid OSX case insensativity bug.
* cabal now installs git-annex-shell as a symlink to git-annex.
* cabal file now autodetects whether S3 support is available.
-- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Wed, 18 Apr 2012 12:11:32 -0400
git-annex (3.20120406) unstable; urgency=low
* Disable diskfree on kfreebsd, as I have a build failure on kfreebsd-i386
that is quite likely caused by it.
-- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Sat, 07 Apr 2012 15:50:36 -0400
git-annex (3.20120405) unstable; urgency=low
* Rewrote free disk space checking code, moving the portability
handling into a small C library.
* status: Display amount of free disk space.
-- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Thu, 05 Apr 2012 16:19:10 -0400
git-annex (3.20120315) unstable; urgency=low
* fsck: Fix up any broken links and misplaced content caused by the
directory hash calculation bug fixed in the last release.
* sync: Sync to lower cost remotes first.
* status: Fixed to run in constant space.
* status: More accurate display of sizes of tmp and bad keys.
* unused: Now uses a bloom filter, and runs in constant space.
Use of a bloom filter does mean it will not notice a small
number of unused keys. For repos with up to half a million keys,
it will miss one key in 1000.
* Added annex.bloomcapacity and annex.bloomaccuracy, which can be
adjusted as desired to tune the bloom filter.
* status: Display amount of memory used by bloom filter, and
detect when it's too small for the number of keys in a repository.
* git-annex-shell: Runs hooks/annex-content after content is received
or dropped.
* Work around a bug in rsync (IMHO) introduced by openSUSE's SIP patch.
* git-annex now behaves as git-annex-shell if symlinked to and run by that
name. The Makefile sets this up, saving some 8 mb of installed size.
* git-union-merge is a demo program, so it is no longer built by default.
-- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Thu, 15 Mar 2012 11:05:28 -0400
git-annex (3.20120309) unstable; urgency=low
* Fix key directory hash calculation code to behave as it did before
version 3.20120227 when a key contains non-ascii characters (only
WORM backend is likely to have been affected).
-- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Fri, 09 Mar 2012 20:05:09 -0400
git-annex (3.20120230) unstable; urgency=low
* "here" can be used to refer to the current repository,
which can read better than the old "." (which still works too).
* Directory special remotes now support chunking files written to them,
avoiding writing files larger than a specified size.
* Add progress bar display to the directory special remote.
* Add configurable hooks that are run when git-annex starts and stops
using a remote: remote.name.annex-start-command and
remote.name.annex-stop-command
* Fix a bug in symlink calculation code, that triggered in rare
cases where an annexed file is in a subdirectory that nearly
matched to the .git/annex/object/xx/yy subdirectories.
-- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Mon, 05 Mar 2012 13:38:13 -0400
git-annex (3.20120229) unstable; urgency=low
* Fix test suite to not require a unicode locale.
* Fix cabal build failure. Thanks, Sergei Trofimovich
-- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Wed, 29 Feb 2012 02:31:31 -0400
git-annex (3.20120227) unstable; urgency=low
* Modifications to support ghc 7.4's handling of filenames.
This version can only be built with ghc 7.4 or newer. See the ghc7.0
branch for older ghcs.
* S3: Fix irrefutable pattern failure when accessing encrypted S3
credentials.
* Use the haskell IfElse library.
* Fix teardown of stale cached ssh connections.
* Fixed to use the strict state monad, to avoid leaking all kinds of memory
due to lazy state update thunks when adding/fixing many files.
* Fixed some memory leaks that occurred when committing journal files.
* Added a annex.queuesize setting, useful when adding hundreds of thousands
of files on a system with plenty of memory.
* whereis: Prints the urls of files that the web special remote knows about.
* addurl --fast: Verifies that the url can be downloaded (only getting
its head), and records the size in the key.
* When checking that an url has a key, verify that the Content-Length,
if available, matches the size of the key.
* addurl: Added a --file option, which can be used to specify what
file the url is added to. This can be used to override the default
filename that is used when adding an url, which is based on the url.
Or, when the file already exists, the url is recorded as another
location of the file.
* addurl: Normalize badly encoded urls.
* addurl: Add --pathdepth option.
* rekey: New plumbing level command, can be used to change the keys used
for files en masse.
* Store web special remote url info in a more efficient location.
(Urls stored with this version will not be visible to older versions.)
* Deal with NFS problem that caused a failure to remove a directory
when removing content from the annex.
* Make a single location log commit after a remote has received or
dropped files. Uses a new "git-annex-shell commit" command when available.
* To avoid commits of data to the git-annex branch after each command
is run, set annex.alwayscommit=false. Its data will then be committed
less frequently, when a merge or sync is done.
* configure: Check if ssh connection caching is supported by the installed
version of ssh and default annex.sshcaching accordingly.
* move --from, copy --from: Now 10 times faster when scanning to find
files in a remote on a local disk; rather than go through the location log
to see which files are present on the remote, it simply looks at the
disk contents directly.
-- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Mon, 27 Feb 2012 12:58:21 -0400
git-annex (3.20120123) unstable; urgency=low
* fsck --from: Fscking a remote is now supported. It's done by retrieving
the contents of the specified files from the remote, and checking them,
so can be an expensive operation. Still, if the remote is a special
remote, or a git repository that you cannot run fsck in locally, it's
nice to have the ability to fsck it.
* If you have any directory special remotes, now would be a good time to
fsck them, in case you were hit by the data loss bug fixed in the
previous release!
* fsck --from remote --fast: Avoids expensive file transfers, at the
expense of not checking file size and/or contents.
* Ssh connection caching is now enabled automatically by git-annex.
Only one ssh connection is made to each host per git-annex run, which
can speed some things up a lot, as well as avoiding repeated password
prompts. Concurrent git-annex processes also share ssh connections.
Cached ssh connections are shut down when git-annex exits.
* To disable the ssh caching (if for example you have your own broader
ssh caching configuration), set annex.sshcaching=false.
-- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Mon, 23 Jan 2012 13:48:48 -0400
git-annex (3.20120116) unstable; urgency=medium
* Fix data loss bug in directory special remote, when moving a file
to the remote failed, and partially transferred content was left
behind in the directory, re-running the same move would think it
succeeded and delete the local copy.
-- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Mon, 16 Jan 2012 16:43:45 -0400
git-annex (3.20120115) unstable; urgency=low
* Add a sanity check for bad StatFS results. On architectures
where StatFS does not currently work (s390, mips, powerpc, sparc),
this disables the diskreserve checking code, and attempting to
configure an annex.diskreserve will result in an error.
* Fix QuickCheck dependency in cabal file.
* Minor optimisations.
-- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Sun, 15 Jan 2012 13:54:20 -0400
git-annex (3.20120113) unstable; urgency=low
* log: Add --gource mode, which generates output usable by gource.
* map: Fix display of remote repos
* Add annex-trustlevel configuration settings, which can be used to
override the trust level of a remote.
* git-annex, git-union-merge: Support GIT_DIR and GIT_WORK_TREE.
* Add libghc-testpack-dev to build depends on all arches.
-- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Fri, 13 Jan 2012 15:35:17 -0400
git-annex (3.20120106) unstable; urgency=low
* Support unescaped repository urls, like git does.
* log: New command that displays the location log for files,
showing each repository they were added to and removed from.
* Fix overbroad gpg --no-tty fix from last release.
-- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Sat, 07 Jan 2012 13:16:23 -0400
git-annex (3.20120105) unstable; urgency=low
* Added annex-web-options configuration settings, which can be
used to provide parameters to whichever of wget or curl git-annex uses
(depends on which is available, but most of their important options
suitable for use here are the same).
* Dotfiles, and files inside dotdirs are not added by "git annex add"
unless the dotfile or directory is explicitly listed. So "git annex add ."
will add all untracked files in the current directory except for those in
dotdirs.
* Added quickcheck to build dependencies, and fail if test suite cannot be
built.
* fsck: Do backend-specific check before checking numcopies is satisfied.
* Run gpg with --no-tty. Closes: #654721
-- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Thu, 05 Jan 2012 13:44:12 -0400
git-annex (3.20111231) unstable; urgency=low
* sync: Improved to work well without a central bare repository.
Thanks to Joachim Breitner.
* Rather than manually committing, pushing, pulling, merging, and git annex
merging, we encourage you to give "git annex sync" a try.
* sync --fast: Selects some of the remotes with the lowest annex.cost
and syncs those, in addition to any specified at the command line.
* Union merge now finds the least expensive way to represent the merge.
* reinject: Add a sanity check for using an annexed file as the source file.
* Properly handle multiline git config values.
* Fix the hook special remote, which bitrotted a while ago.
* map: --fast disables use of dot to display map
* Test suite improvements. Current top-level test coverage: 75%
* Improve deletion of files from rsync special remotes. Closes: #652849
* Add --include, which is the same as --not --exclude.
* Format strings can be specified using the new --format option, to control
what is output by git annex find.
* Support git annex find --json
* Fixed behavior when multiple insteadOf configs are provided for the
same url base.
* Can now be built with older git versions (before 1.7.7); the resulting
binary should only be used with old git.
* Updated to build with monad-control 0.3.
-- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Sat, 31 Dec 2011 14:55:29 -0400
git-annex (3.20111211) unstable; urgency=medium
* Fix bug in last version in getting contents from bare repositories.
* Ensure that git-annex branch changes are merged into git-annex's index,
which fixes a bug that could cause changes that were pushed to the
git-annex branch to get reverted. As a side effect, it's now safe
for users to check out and commit changes directly to the git-annex
branch.
* map: Fix a failure to detect a loop when both repositories are local
and refer to each other with relative paths.
* Prevent key names from containing newlines.
* add: If interrupted, add can leave files converted to symlinks but not
yet added to git. Running the add again will now clean up this situtation.
* Fix caching of decrypted ciphers, which failed when drop had to check
multiple different encrypted special remotes.
* unannex: Can be run on files that have been added to the annex, but not
yet committed.
* sync: New command that synchronises the local repository and default
remote, by running git commit, pull, and push for you.
* Version monad-control dependency in cabal file.
-- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Sun, 11 Dec 2011 21:24:39 -0400
git-annex (3.20111203) unstable; urgency=low
* The VFAT filesystem on recent versions of Linux, when mounted with
shortname=mixed, does not get along well with git-annex's mixed case
.git/annex/objects hash directories. To avoid this problem, new content
is now stored in all-lowercase hash directories. Except for non-bare
repositories which would be a pain to transition and cannot be put on FAT.
(Old mixed-case hash directories are still tried for backwards
compatibility.)
* Flush json output, avoiding a buffering problem that could result in
doubled output.
* Avoid needing haskell98 and other fixes for new ghc. Thanks, Mark Wright.
* Bugfix: dropunused did not drop keys with two spaces in their name.
* Support for storing .git/annex on a different device than the rest of the
git repository.
* --inbackend can be used to make git-annex only operate on files
whose content is stored using a specified key-value backend.
* dead: A command which says that a repository is gone for good
and you don't want git-annex to mention it again.
-- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Sat, 03 Dec 2011 21:01:45 -0400
git-annex (3.20111122) unstable; urgency=low
* merge: Improve commit messages to mention what was merged.
* Avoid doing auto-merging in commands that don't need fully current
information from the git-annex branch. In particular, git annex add
no longer needs to auto-merge.
* init: When run in an already initalized repository, and without
a description specified, don't delete the old description.
* Optimised union merging; now only runs git cat-file once, and runs
in constant space.
* status: Now displays trusted, untrusted, and semitrusted repositories
separately.
* status: Include all special remotes in the list of repositories.
* status: Fix --json mode.
* status: --fast is back
* Fix support for insteadOf url remapping. Closes: #644278
* When not run in a git repository, git-annex can still display a usage
message, and "git annex version" even works.
* migrate: Don't fall over a stale temp file.
* Avoid excessive escaping for rsync special remotes that are not accessed
over ssh.
* find: Support --print0
-- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Tue, 22 Nov 2011 14:31:45 -0400
git-annex (3.20111111) unstable; urgency=low
* Handle a case where an annexed file is moved into a gitignored directory,
by having fix --force add its change.
* Avoid cyclic drop problems.
* Optimized copy --from and get --from to avoid checking the location log
for files that are already present.
* Automatically fix up badly formatted uuid.log entries produced by
3.20111105, whenever the uuid.log is changed (ie, by init or describe).
* map: Support remotes with /~/ and /~user/
-- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Fri, 11 Nov 2011 13:44:18 -0400
git-annex (3.20111107) unstable; urgency=low
* merge: Use fast-forward merges when possible.
Thanks Valentin Haenel for a test case showing how non-fast-forward
merges could result in an ongoing pull/merge/push cycle.
* Don't try to read config from repos with annex-ignore set.
* Bugfix: In the past two releases, git-annex init has written the uuid.log
in the wrong format, with the UUID and description flipped.
-- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Mon, 07 Nov 2011 12:47:44 -0400
git-annex (3.20111105) unstable; urgency=low
* The default backend used when adding files to the annex is changed
from WORM to SHA256.
To get old behavior, add a .gitattributes containing: * annex.backend=WORM
* Sped up some operations on remotes that are on the same host.
* copy --to: Fixed leak when copying many files to a remote on the same
host.
* uninit: Add guard against being run with the git-annex branch checked out.
* Fail if --from or --to is passed to commands that do not support them.
* drop --from is now supported to remove file content from a remote.
* status: Now always shows the current repository, even when it does not
appear in uuid.log.
* fsck: Now works in bare repositories. Checks location log information,
and file contents. Does not check that numcopies is satisfied, as
.gitattributes information about numcopies is not available in a bare

* unused, dropunused: Now work in bare repositories.
* Removed the setkey command, and added a reinject command with a more
useful interface.
* The fromkey command now takes the key as its first parameter. The --key
option is no longer used.
* Built without any filename containing .git being excluded. Closes: #647215
* Record uuid when auto-initializing a remote so it shows in status.
* Bugfix: Fixed git-annex init crash in a bare repository when there was
already an existing git-annex branch.

* A remote can have a annexUrl configured, that is used by git-annex
instead of its usual url. (Similar to pushUrl.)
* migrate: Copy url logs for keys when migrating.

environment variables can be set to limit what commands can be run.
This is used by gitolite's new git-annex support!

git-annex (3.20111011) unstable; urgency=low
* This version of git-annex only works with git 1.7.7 and newer.
The breakage with old versions is subtle, and affects the
annex.numcopies settings in .gitattributes, so be sure to upgrade git
to 1.7.7. (Debian package now depends on that version.)
* Don't pass absolute paths to git show-attr, as it started following
symlinks when that's done in 1.7.7. Instead, use relative paths,
which show-attr only handles 100% correctly in 1.7.7. Closes: #645046
* Fix referring to remotes by uuid.
* New or changed repository descriptions in uuid.log now have a timestamp,
which is used to ensure the newest description is used when the uuid.log
has been merged.
* Note that older versions of git-annex will display the timestamp as part
of the repository description, which is ugly but otherwise harmless.
* Add timestamps to trust.log and remote.log too.
* git-annex-shell: Added the --uuid option.
* git-annex now asks git-annex-shell to verify that it's operating in
the expected repository.
* Note that this git-annex will not interoperate with remotes using
older versions of git-annex-shell.
* Now supports git's insteadOf configuration, to modify the url
used to access a remote. Note that pushInsteadOf is not used;
that and pushurl are reserved for actual git pushes. Closes: #644278
* status: List all known repositories.
* When displaying a list of repositories, show git remote names
in addition to their descriptions.
* Add locking to avoid races when changing the git-annex branch.
* Various speed improvements gained by using ByteStrings.
* Contain the zombie hordes.

git-annex (3.20110928) unstable; urgency=low
* --in can be used to make git-annex only operate on files
believed to be present in a given repository.
* Arbitrarily complex expressions can be built to limit the files git-annex
operates on, by combining the options --not --and --or -( and -)
Example: git annex get --exclude '*.mp3' --and --not -( --in usbdrive --or --in archive -)
* --copies=N can be used to make git-annex only operate on files with
the specified number of copies. (And --not --copies=N for the inverse.)
* find: Rather than only showing files whose contents are present,
when used with --exclude --copies or --in, displays all files that
match the specified conditions.
* Note that this is a behavior change for git-annex find! Old behavior
can be gotten by using: git-annex find --in .
* status: Massively sped up; remove --fast mode.
* unused: File contents used by branches and tags are no longer
considered unused, even when not used by the current branch. This is
the final piece of the puzzle needed for git-annex to to play nicely
with branches.

git-annex (3.20110702) unstable; urgency=low
* Now the web can be used as a special remote.
This feature replaces the old URL backend.
* addurl: New command to download an url and store it in the annex.
* Sped back up fsck, copy --from, and other commands that often
have to read a lot of information from the git-annex branch. Such
commands are now faster than they were before introduction of the
git-annex branch.
* Always ensure git-annex branch exists.
* Modify location log parser to allow future expansion.
* --force will cause add, etc, to operate on ignored files.
* Avoid mangling encoding when storing the description of repository
and other content.
* cabal can now be used to build git-annex. This is substantially
slower than using make, does not build or install documentation,
does not run the test suite, and is not particularly recommended,
but could be useful to some.

* git-annex now stores its logs in a git-annex branch.
* merge: New subcommand. Auto-merges the new git-annex branch.
* Improved handling of bare git repos with annexes. Many more commands will
work in them.
* git-annex is now more robust; it will never leave state files
uncommitted when some other git process comes along and locks the index
at an inconvenient time.
* rsync is now used when copying files from repos on other filesystems.
cp is still used when copying file from repos on the same filesystem,
since --reflink=auto can make it significantly faster on filesystems
such as btrfs.
* Allow --trust etc to specify a repository by name, for temporarily
trusting repositories that are not configured remotes.
* unlock: Made atomic.
* git-union-merge: New git subcommand, that does a generic union merge
operation, and operates efficiently without touching the working tree.

of S3. In particular, munge key filenames to comply with the IA's filename
limits, disable encryption, support their nonstandard way of creating
buckets, and allow x-archive-* headers to be specified in initremote to
set item metadata.
* Added filename extension preserving variant backends SHA1E, SHA256E, etc.

* unused: Now also lists files fsck places in .git/annex/bad/
* S3: When encryption is enabled, the Amazon S3 login credentials
are stored, encrypted, in .git-annex/remotes.log, so environment

* bup is now supported as a special type of remote.
* The data sent to special remotes (Amazon S3, bup, etc) can be encrypted
using GPG for privacy.
* Use lowercase hash directories for locationlog files, to avoid
some issues with git on OSX with the mixed-case directories.
No migration is needed; the old mixed case hash directories are still
read; new information is written to the new directories.
* Unused files on remotes, particulary special remotes, can now be
identified and dropped, by using "--from remote" with git annex unused
and git annex dropunused.
* Clear up short option confusion between --from and --force (-f is now
--from, and there is no short option for --force).
* Add build depend on perlmagick so docs are consistently built.
Closes: #621410
* Add doc-base file. Closes: #621408
* Periodically flush git command queue, to avoid boating memory usage
too much.

* fsck: Ensure that files and directories in .git/annex/objects

* Generalized remotes handling, laying groundwork for remotes that are
not regular git remotes. (Think Amazon S3.)
* Provide a less expensive version of `git annex copy --to`, enabled
via --fast. This assumes that location tracking information is correct,
rather than contacting the remote for every file.
* Bugfix: Keys could be received into v1 annexes from v2 annexes, via
v1 git-annex-shell. This results in some oddly named keys in the v1
annex. Recognise and fix those keys when upgrading, instead of crashing.

with git-annex 0.2x or earlier.) The code is believed to work on
Linux, FreeBSD, and OSX; check compile-time messages to see if it
is not enabled for your OS.
* Add annex.diskreserve config setting, to control how much free space
to reserve for other purposes and avoid using (defaults to 1 mb).
* Add --fast flag, that can enable less expensive, but also less thorough
versions of some commands.
* fsck: In fast mode, avoid checking checksums.
* unused: In fast mode, just show all existing temp files as unused,
and avoid expensive scan for other unused content.
* migrate: Support migrating v1 SHA keys to v2 SHA keys with
size information that can be used for free space checking.
* Fix space leak in fsck and drop commands.

* New repository format, annex.version=2.
* The first time git-annex is run in an old format repository, it
will automatically upgrade it to the new format, staging all
necessary changes to git. Also added a "git annex upgrade" command.
* Colons are now avoided in filenames, so bare clones of git repos
can be put on USB thumb drives formatted with vFAT or similar
filesystems.
* Added two levels of hashing to object directory and .git-annex logs,
to improve scalability with enormous numbers of annexed
objects. (With one hundred million annexed objects, each
directory would contain fewer than 1024 files.)
* The setkey, fromkey, and dropkey subcommands have changed how
the key is specified. --backend is no longer used with these.

* Add Suggests on graphviz. Closes: #618039
* When adding files to the annex, the symlinks pointing at the annexed

* Git annexes can now be attached to bare git repositories.
(Both the local and remote host must have this version of git-annex
installed for it to work.)
* Support filenames that start with a dash; when such a file is passed
to a utility it will be escaped to avoid it being interpreted as an
option. (I went a little overboard and got the type checker involved
in this, so such files are rather comprehensively supported now.)
* New backends: SHA512 SHA384 SHA256 SHA224
(Supported on systems where corresponding shaNsum commands are available.)
* describe: New subcommand that can set or change the description of
a repository.
* Fix test suite to reap zombies.
(Zombies can be particularly annoying on OSX; thanks to Jimmy Tang
for his help eliminating the infestation... for now.)
* Make test suite not rely on a working cp -pr.
(The Unix wars are still ON!)
* Look for dir.git directories the same as git does.
* Support remote urls specified as relative paths.
* Support non-ssh remote paths that contain tilde expansions.

get "a" before "b". Previously it could operate in either order.
* unannex: Commit staged changes at end, to avoid some confusing behavior
with the pre-commit hook, which would see some types of commits after

* fsck, drop: Take untrusted repositories into account.
* Bugfix: Files were copied from trusted remotes first even if their
annex.cost was higher than other remotes.
* Improved temp file handling. Transfers of content can now be resumed
from temp files later; the resume does not have to be the immediate
next git-annex run.

file was moved to. This could not result in data loss, or even a
significant problem, since the remote *did* record that it had the file.
* Also, add a general guard to detect attempts to record information
about repositories with missing UUIDs.
* bugfix: Running `move --to` with a non-ssh remote failed.

* Introduce the git-annex-shell command. It's now possible to make
a user have it as a restricted login shell, similar to git-shell.
* Note that git-annex will always use git-annex-shell when accessing

git-annex (0.11) unstable; urgency=low
* If available, rsync will be used for file transfers from remote
repositories. This allows resuming interrupted transfers.
* Added remote.annex-rsync-options.
* Avoid deleting temp files when rsync fails.
* Improve detection of version 0 repos.
* Add uninit subcommand. Closes: #605749

git-annex (0.10) unstable; urgency=low
* In .gitattributes, the annex.numcopies attribute can be used
to control the number of copies to retain of different types of files.
* Bugfix: Always correctly handle gitattributes when in a subdirectory of
the repository. (Had worked ok for ones like "*.mp3", but failed for
ones like "dir/*".)
* fsck: Fix warning about not enough copies of a file, when locations
are known, but are not available in currently configured remotes.
* precommit: Optimise to avoid calling git-check-attr more than once.
* The git-annex-backend attribute has been renamed to annex.backend.

git-annex (0.09) unstable; urgency=low
* Add copy subcommand.
* Fix bug in setkey subcommand triggered by move --to.

git-annex (0.08) unstable; urgency=low
* Fix `git annex add ../foo` (when ran in a subdir of the repo).
* Add configure step to build process.
* Only use cp -a if it is supported, falling back to cp -p or plain cp
as needed for portability.
* cp --reflink=auto is used if supported, and will make git annex unlock
much faster on filesystems like btrfs that support copy on write.

git-annex (0.07) unstable; urgency=low
* find: New subcommand.
* unused: New subcommand, finds unused data. (Split out from fsck.)
* dropunused: New subcommand, provides for easy dropping of unused keys
by number, as listed by the unused subcommand.
* fsck: Print warnings to stderr; --quiet can now be used to only see
problems.
-- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Mon, 15 Nov 2010 18:41:50 -0400
git-annex (0.06) unstable; urgency=low
* fsck: Check if annex.numcopies is satisfied.
* fsck: Verify the sha1 of files when the SHA1 backend is used.
* fsck: Verify the size of files when the WORM backend is used.
* fsck: Allow specifying individual files if fscking everything
is not desired.
* fsck: Fix bug, introduced in 0.04, in detection of unused data.

git-annex (0.05) unstable; urgency=low
* Optimize both pre-commit and lock subcommands to not call git diff
on every file being committed/locked.
(This actually also works around a bug in ghc, that caused
git-annex 0.04 pre-commit to sometimes corrupt filename being read
from git ls-files and fail.
See <http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/4493>
The excessive number of calls made by pre-commit exposed the ghc bug.
Thanks Josh Triplett for the debugging.)
* Build with -O2.
-- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Thu, 11 Nov 2010 18:31:09 -0400
git-annex (0.04) unstable; urgency=low
* Add unlock subcommand, which replaces the symlink with a copy of
the file's content in preparation of changing it. The "edit" subcommand
is an alias for unlock.
* Add lock subcommand.
* Unlocked files will now automatically be added back into the annex when
committed (and the updated symlink committed), by some magic in the
pre-commit hook.
* The SHA1 backend is now fully usable.
* Add annex.version, which will be used to automate upgrades
between incompatible versions.
* Reorganised the layout of .git/annex/
* The new layout will be automatically upgraded to the first time
git-annex is used in a repository with the old layout.
* Note that git-annex 0.04 cannot transfer content from old repositories
that have not yet been upgraded.
* Annexed file contents are now made unwritable and put in unwriteable
directories, to avoid them accidentially being removed or modified.
(Thanks Josh Triplett for the idea.)
* Add build dep on libghc6-testpack-dev. Closes: #603016
* Avoid using runghc to run test suite as it is not available on all
architectures. Closes: #603006

git-annex (0.03) unstable; urgency=low
* Fix support for file:// remotes.
* Add --verbose
* Fix SIGINT handling.
* Fix handling of files with unusual characters in their name.
* Fixed memory leak; git-annex no longer reads the whole file list
from git before starting, and will be much faster with large repos.
* Fix crash on unknown symlinks.
* Added remote.annex-scp-options and remote.annex-ssh-options.
* The backends to use when adding different sets of files can be configured
via gitattributes.
* In .gitattributes, the git-annex-backend attribute can be set to the
names of backends to use when adding different types of files.
* Add fsck subcommand. (For now it only finds unused key contents in the
annex.)
-- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Sun, 07 Nov 2010 18:26:04 -0400
git-annex (0.02) unstable; urgency=low
* Can scp annexed files from remote hosts, and check remote hosts for
file content when dropping files.
* New move subcommand, that makes it easy to move file contents from
or to a remote.
* New fromkey subcommand, for registering urls, etc.
* git-annex init will now set up a pre-commit hook that fixes up symlinks
before they are committed, to ensure that moving symlinks around does not
break them.
* More intelligent and fast staging of modified files; git add coalescing.
* Add remote.annex-ignore git config setting to allow completly disabling
a given remote.
* --from/--to can be used to control the remote repository that git-annex
uses.
* --quiet can be used to avoid verbose output
* New plumbing-level dropkey and addkey subcommands.
* Lots of bug fixes.
